There Is frequent mention of the National I.abor Itclatlons Act In
newspapers these days.
Most of this news has been the kind of
smoke that really Indicates the presence of a fire.
Not I he least Important Item o f this type was the recent derision
handed down by the United Htates Supreme Court to the effect that
Fad tun I courts have no power to pass on the rightness or wrongness
of Wagner lloaid certifications of labor unions. The case In question
was brought to the court by one national labor union which felt that
a Wagner Board decision had been too sweeping and had dlsreg&r-
iled minority rights.
The problem of the Wagner Act has cried out for solution for ft
number of years now.
Ho far. the Acts' defenders have done a skill
ful Job of thwarting the desire of the public and of all grou|>a In the
country to hnve It amended.
But the knowledge that, the wide
powers of the Board cannot In many Instances be checked by the
courts ought to make the need for amendments to limit that power
seem even more urgent to those most concerned.
Coupled with this recent news event come continued revelations
made during the Congressional Investigation of the Board Itself that
tend to show that the body with these extremely broad powers does
not always employ them wisely.
These revelations of bickering among Honed members, of bins
evidenced by Board representatives, of wide powers assumed or
usurped by the Board point, of course, partly to nn unsound atti
tude on the part of the Wagner Board Itself.
But far more
significantly they throw the spotlight on the flnws, omissions, and
loose constructions of the Act Itself which make this situation
possible.
Congress .with the International situation growing hourly and
dally more tense, must he wise enough to do everything In Its power
to help get our domestic affairs shipshape
In the field of em
ployer employer relations, so Important both to recovery and na
tional defense
Congress can best serve this end by amending the
Wagner Act along lines that will mean a fair deal for nuinagement
as well as labor.
This action would mark a substantial contribu
tion to real employer employee harmony.
Thai Congress will follow this line Is a consummation devoutly
to be wished by all real friends of labor, o f Industry, o f the consum
ing public, nnd of Congress Itself.
